ZXing-C++ is an open-source, multi-format 1D/2D barcode image processing library written in pure C++20, ported from the Java ZXing library with improved runtime and detection performance. It reads and writes many barcode symbologies (QR Code, Data Matrix, Aztec, PDF417, EAN/UPC, Code128, etc.) and offers bindings for many languages and platforms.
Use cases
- decode qr codes from images in c++
- read barcodes from camera frames in an android app
- generate qr code images from text
- scan data matrix codes on shipping labels
- add barcode scanning to a python application
- detect pdf417 codes from scanned documents
When to choose
- you need fast, dependency-free barcode reading/writing in C++ or via native bindings
- you need broad symbology support including QR, Data Matrix, Aztec, and PDF417
- you need thread-safe barcode processing in a production application
When to avoid
- you need a ready-made GUI scanning app rather than a library
- you only target Java/JVM and can use the original ZXing directly
- you need symbologies not listed as supported, such as certain niche legacy formats
